Preface Di

a slightly different approach. It starts with the simple integral-only
algorithm and progresses to PI and the PID. The widely used concept
of cascade control is presented with an example. Controlling processes
subject to white noise has often been a controversial subject, especially
when statisticians get involved. To stir the pot, I spend a section on
this subject.
This completes the book but it certainly does not cover the
complete field of process control. However, it should provide you
with a starting point, a reference point and a tool for dealing with
those who do process control engineering as a profession.
